How do we know regeneration is a true experience?

Answered in 1 source

Regeneration is evidenced by the transformation of the heart, aligning one's desires with God's, rather than mere outward conformity to religion.

According to Romans 2:28-29, true regeneration is an inward work of the heart that cannot simply be identified by outward markers like religious rituals or law observance. Regeneration changes a person's disposition, causing a desire for holiness and obedience to God's will. It's a heart operation rather than an external performance, aiming for genuine love and relationship with God. The distinction between the outward and inward is critical; a true believer will exhibit a heart transformed by grace, as their actions stem from a sincere love for God rather than the pursuit of human approval or maintaining traditions. Therefore, spiritual discernment, guided by the Holy Spirit, is essential to recognize true regeneration.
